GLADIOLI. 

 EARLY FLOWERING. 



These Gladioli are now exten- 

 sively used by gardeners and florists 

 for winter forcing; the dwarf, branch- 

 ing gracefully-formed flowers being 

 excellent for cut-flower use. If the 

 spikes are cut and placed in water 

 when the first blossoms appear, they 

 will keep expanding and remain 

 beautiful for a week or two. Five 

 or six bulbs planted in six-inch bulb- 

 pans or pots make charming groups 

 for conservatory or window decora- 

 tion ; the bulbs should be set an 

 inch and a half deep.

 but are also of great value for early summer cut-flower purposes, for 

 which use the bulbs may be planted in autumn in the open ground 

 if mulched sufliiciently to exclude frost, or they may be kept in moist 

 earth in a cellar or pit during winter and planted in the open ground 

 about the middle of April.
